L.Wing – install wingtip – 4/3/2016

 

Drill and cleco. We used a lot of our 40 copper clecoes.  This must be what building an RV is like. 🙂

 

Strap the wingtip on, install the aileron and check the spacing.  It needs 1/8″ clearance between the wingtip and aileron.  We’ve got a 1/8″ thick piece of plastic sheet taped in the gap.

Here’s a pic I saw of a Searey where the pilot hit the wingtip on a dock pole.  It probably bent the spars because it twisted the mounting pylon.
